Creating DNS records
Select the domain for which you want to edit the DNS zone by choosing Domains and Overview in the left menu:
Choose the required domain and press it. In our case, it is a domain name domenasmanotestams.eu;
From the menu on the left, select DNS and make sure you are on the Records tab. A table as below will be opened:
In our case, there are some DNS records already created;
Click "Add record" to create a new record:
5.1. In the Type column, select the record type from the drop-down menu;
5.2. In the Name column, specify the root domain "@" or a subdomain (e.g., www);
5.3. In the TTL column, you will see the Auto option. It can only be modified when the Proxy setting is disabled:
*TTL (Time to Live) – a value that specifies how long a DNS record will be cached on name servers. In other words, it determines how often the name servers will refresh this record's value.
IMPORTANT! Depending on the DNS record type, the available columns and values may differ.
Adjusting DNS records
Choose a record that should be adjusted and press Edit on its right:
In the opened table, you can adjust the domain or subdomain name, change the record destination, add a comment (optional), and delete the record itself:
To save changes, press the Save button.
The sections in the adjustment table can vary depending on the DNS records you adjust.
